  • ACEA – E10 Petrol Fuel: Vehicle Compatibility List
    List of ACEA member company petrol vehicles compatible with using ‘E10’ petrol 1. Important notes applicable for the complete list hereunder The European Union Fuel Quality Directive (1) introduced a new market petrol specification from 1st January 2011 that may contain up to 10% ethanol by volume (10 %vol). Such petrol is commonly known as ‘E10’. It is up to the individual country of the European Union and fuel marketers to decide if and when to introduce E10 petrol to the market and so far E10 petrol has only been introduced in Finland, France, Germany and Belgium. For vehicles equipped with a spark-ignition (petrol) engine introduced into the EU market, this list indicates their compatibility (or otherwise) with the use of E10 petrol. 2. Note In countries that offer E10 petrol, before you fill your vehicle with petrol please check that your vehicle is compatible with the use of E10 petrol. If, by mistake, you put E10 petrol into a vehicle that is not declared compatible with the use of E10 petrol, it is recommended that you contact your local vehicle dealer, the vehicle manufacturer or roadside assistance provider who may advise that the fuel tank be drained. If it is necessary to drain the fuel from the tank then you should ensure it is done by a competent organisation and the tank is refilled with the correct grade of petrol for your vehicle. Owners experiencing any issues when using E10 petrol are advised to contact their local vehicle dealer or vehicle manufacturer and to use instead 95RON (or 98RON) petrol that might be identified by ‘E5’ (or have no specific additional marking) in those countries that offer E10 petrol.

  • Caliper Abuse for Beginners a Guide to Quick and Accurate Layout Using Digital Calipers
    Caliper Abuse for Beginners A Guide to Quick and Accurate Layout Using Digital Calipers charles z guan productions 21 Mar 2010 In your 2.007 kit, you have been provided with a set of 6” (150mm) digital calipers. You should use these not only for measuring and ascertaining dimensions of parts, but for accurate positioning of holes and other features when manually fabricating a part. Marking out feature positions and part dimensions using a standard ruler is often the first choice for students unfamiliar with engineering tools. This method yields marginal results and usually results in parts which need filing, sanding, or other “one-off” fitting. This document is intended to exposit a fairly common but usually unspoken shortcut that balances time spent laying out a part for fabrication with reasonably accurate results. We will be using a 3 x 1” aluminum box extrusion as the example workpiece. Let's say that we wanted to drill a hole that is 0.975” above the bottom edge of this piece and 1.150” from the right edge. Neither dimension is a common fraction, nor a demarcation found on most rulers. How would we drill such a hole on the drill press? Here, I have set the caliper to 0.975”, after making sure it is properly zeroed. Use the knurled knob to physically lock the caliper to a reading. These calipers have a resolution of 0.0005”. However, this last digit is extremely uncertain. Treat your dimensions as if Calipers are magnetic and can they only have 3 digits attract dirt and grit.

  • FIELD EXTENSIONS and the CLASSICAL COMPASS and STRAIGHT-EDGE CONSTRUCTIONS 1. Introduction to the Classical Geometric Problems 1
    FIELD EXTENSIONS AND THE CLASSICAL COMPASS AND STRAIGHT-EDGE CONSTRUCTIONS WINSTON GAO Abstract. This paper will introduce the reader to field extensions at a rudi- mentary level and then pursue the subject further by looking to its applications in a discussion of some constructibility issues in the classical straight-edge and compass problems. Field extensions, especially their degrees are explored at an introductory level. Properties of minimal polynomials are discussed to this end. The paper ends with geometric problems and the construction of polygons which have their proofs in the roots of field theory. Contents 1. introduction to the classical geometric problems 1 2. fields, field extensions, and preliminaries 2 3. geometric problems 5 4. constructing regular polygons 8 Acknowledgments 9 References 9 1. Introduction to the Classical Geometric Problems One very important and interesting set of problems within classical Euclidean ge- ometry is the set of compass and straight-edge questions. Basically, these questions deal with what is and is not constructible with only an idealized ruler and compass. The ruler has no markings (hence technically a straight-edge) has infinite length, and zero width. The compass can be extended to infinite distance and is assumed to collapse when lifted from the paper (a restriction that we shall see is irrelevant). Given these, we then study the set of constructible elements. However, while it is interesting to note what kinds objects we can create, it is far less straight forward to show that certain objects are impossible to create with these tools. Three famous problems that we will investigate will be the squaring the circle, doubling the cube, and trisecting an angle.

  • 6. Determination of Height and Distance: Theodolite
    Geography (H), UG, 2nd Sem CC-04-TH: Thematic Cartography 6. Determination of Height and Distance: Theodolite What is Theodolite? A Theodolite is a measuring instrument used to measure the horizontal and vertical angles are determined with great precision. Theodolite is more precise than magnetic compass. Magnetic compass measures the angle up to as accuracy of 30’. Anyhow a vernier theodolite measures the angles up to and accuracy of 10’’, 20”. It is of either transit or non- transit type. In Transit theodolites the telescope can rotate in a complete circle in the vertical plane while Non-transit theodolites are those in which the telescope can rotate only in a semicircle in the vertical plane. Types of Theodolite A Transit Theodolite Non transit Theodolite B Vernier Theodolite Micrometer Theodolite A I. Transit Theodolite: a theodolite is called transit theodolite when its telescope can be transited i.e. revolved through a complete revolution about its horizontal axis in the vertical plane. II. Non transit Theodolite: the telescope cannot be transited. They are inferior in utility and have now become obsolete. Kaberi Murmu B I. Vernier Theodolite: For reading the graduated circle if verniers are used, the theodolite is called a vernier theodolit. II. Whereas, if a micrometer is provided to read the graduated circle the same is called as a Micrometer Theodolite. Vernier type theodolites are commonly used. Uses of Theodolite Theodolite uses for many purposes, but mainly it is used for measuring angles, scaling points of constructional works. For example, to determine highway points, huge buildings’ escalating edges theodolites are used.

It never occurred to me that the modern compass is not the one that Euclid wrote about. In this document, I present the collapsing compass and other surprising geometric constructions. The mathematics used is no more advanced than secondary-school mathematics, but some of the proofs are rather intricate and demand a willingness to deal with complex constructions and long proofs. The chapters are ordered in ascending levels of difficult (according to my evaluation). The collapsing compass Euclid showed that every construction that can be done using a compass with fixed legs can be done using a collapsing compass, which is a compass that cannot maintain the distance between its legs.

  • Ruler and Compass Constructions and Abstract Algebra
    Ruler and Compass Constructions and Abstract Algebra Introduction Around 300 BC, Euclid wrote a series of 13 books on geometry and number theory. These books are collectively called the Elements and are some of the most famous books ever written about any subject. In the Elements, Euclid described several “ruler and compass” constructions. By ruler, we mean a straightedge with no marks at all (so it does not look like the rulers with centimeters or inches that you get at the store). The ruler allows you to draw the (unique) line between two (distinct) given points. The compass allows you to draw a circle with a given point as its center and with radius equal to the distance between two given points. But there are three famous constructions that the Greeks could not perform using ruler and compass: • Doubling the cube: constructing a cube having twice the volume of a given cube. • Trisecting the angle: constructing an angle 1/3 the measure of a given angle. • Squaring the circle: constructing a square with area equal to that of a given circle. The Greeks were able to construct several regular polygons, but another famous problem was also beyond their reach: • Determine which regular polygons are constructible with ruler and compass. These famous problems were open (unsolved) for 2000 years! Thanks to the modern tools of abstract algebra, we now know the solutions: • It is impossible to double the cube, trisect the angle, or square the circle using only ruler (straightedge) and compass. • We also know precisely which regular polygons can be constructed and which ones cannot.
